Reminder
Please read the Terms of Service to understand what is or is not permitted on the discussion forums.
If you find a post on any of the discussion forums that is possibly/definitely in violation of the site rules, you may report it by clicking on the 'report abuse' link that is found on every message near the author's name.
These forums are for informational purposes only and are moderated. We ask that you refrain from making personal attacks against individuals or companies. Anything considered disruptive, abusive or obscene will be removed.
An item of main concern is ADVERTISING:
Advertising is not allowed here. Solicitations of sale/trade, or announcements that you are giving something/an animal away, or wanting to receive free giveaways is considered advertising. Posting the same message to more than 4 forums/message boards (crossposting, spamming) is also considered advertising (unless it is done with the prior consent of OnlineHobbyist staff, i.e. Kingsnake.com site coordinator). Any post deemed to be of an advertising nature will be removed from the discussion forums. Announcements about upcoming events/shows/expos/etc. should be posted on the Events & Announcements Forum.
In other words, advertising properly belongs in the Classified Forums area. This includes website announcements (ex: 'check out my new site'). Please visit the Kingsnake.com Classified Forums for your advertising needs.
The Classified Forums have their own set of rules / terms of service separate from the rules of the discussion forums. A classified account entitles the account holder the ability to post up to 3 ads per day per section among the 11 pethobbyist related classified sites (example: kingsnake.com alone has 35 sections so theoretically as many as 108 ads per day would be allowed there or over 3,000 ads per month). Fees are staggered in 1 month, 3 month, 6 month and 12 month increments so if someone is not willing to pay ~$20 for 1 months' worth of advertising space, then they are certainly free to go elsewhere. Advertising on the discussion forums will not be tolerated regardless of any perceived 'special circumstances' that someone might feel entitles them to post outside of the classified areas.
